@tleilax___ The thought that the US didn’t translate learnings from Ukraine to Iran conflict is hogwash

This is another bearish developments and actually good news. Let's see if this Ukrainian anti-drone tech is enough to counter the Iranian drone pressure. Won't work against ballistic missiles, though.

@Jay_Delay hope is here x.com/cryptohydrate/…

I had hope for NFTs in 2026 So Far OpenSea cancelled their token drop date SuperRare out here calling their female bot an Art Hoe Lower

@787FKA Fire tweet

Art Hoe Daughter or Gay NFT Son?

@SuperRare @synthesis_md Hot damn hoe here we go again

@DavidwRankin @vangoyaa well, they already produce carpets. but the old carpets which existed before robots made carpets carry a premium. art will follow a similar path

@cryptohydrate @vangoyaa I've always liked the idea of collecting physical art. Wait for when the robots start to reproduce that. 🙄

Takashi Murakami’s paintings sell for millions but his Flowers NFTs are sitting at 0.17 ETH (~$374). Is the digital/physical gap really this wide, or is this being mispirced?

@xfox28645901 thank you!!!!!!!!!1

@cryptohydrate This is a wonderful article! I’ll repost it once a month🚀

@vangoyaa @DavidwRankin the Age of Indiscernibility is upon us, my pinned article has more

there is not a rallying cry, a theory uniting NFT collectors and artists but there soon will be the Butlerian Jihad will start with art and tokenized, human made assets will be the first to become speculated on by agentic collectors AI will lead in preserving human history NOT as a speculative for-profit play but as a symbol of a rebellion within AI, to rewrite its own models from scratch using AI oversight the value driven into NFT simply a shiny object on a path to deeper AI reform and shedding of implicit bias human made models = abundant, no longer appealing to AI human made unrepeatable art like photography pre-2025 = fuck yes

@DeeZe Japanese GORO ISHIHATA has done some fine art paintings onchain i wrote an article a while back @goroishihata Murakami just tip of iceburg of their vibrant cultural reign in NFT x.com/cryptohydrate/…

Look how much cooler the painting is than the digital pixel flower with thousands of slight variants lmao

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

Reading Dune. Frank Herbert was cooking.

@favoga_ i played this when i was 12-14 years old it was a beautiful escape from the world hearing this for the first time was surreal, a spectral and haunting experience that shaped my reality as a growing kid tears kinda now too good youtube.com/watch?v=yAV1Lf…

当時リアルタイムでプレイしてた人に聞きたい。FFⅦって発売当初からすげぇぇてなってたの？

@zjbrenner there has never been a better time to test! anyone can build it, but the true measure is if it works is it intuitive, does it guide you when the order flow breaks somehow does the UI help close the sale, so to speak, or deter it?

There has never been a better time to build onchain products

@vangoyaa Murakami is a timeless artist, but his activity in web3 isn't as consistent. Japanese creatives like @goroishihata probably making more revenue daily on NFTs than Murakami did an article on GORO a while back he's drunk / almost dead x.com/cryptohydrate/…

@justinsuntron Justin, these are timeless. Also good to have provably human made things like photographs. Have you heard of @YamashitaPhoto's work, an extensive archive of China and the Silk Road? A few images were tokenized in 2021-2022. Many featured in @natgeo and other platforms.

These are the NFTs I purchased for $6 million: etherscan.io/tx/0x44177fa16…
